OBV: L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP II, Laureate bust right
REV: VICT AVG TR P II COS II P P S C, Victory Advancing Left with Wreath and Palm
A very unusual portrait.

Note from Helvetica:
It's odd that the OCRE website gives no source nor an example of their 672a. I managed to track down the (Victory right) RIC 672 in the Baranowsky sale of Feb. 1931, thinking that perhaps the bust type would be similar to yours, but it (RIC 672, Baranowsky 2396) looks quite "normal". https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9813479q?rk=150215;2
In addition the reverse legend of VICT AVG TR P II COS II P P on the Baranowsky coin is clockwise around, in its entirety, from lower left. Whereas your letters seem too large and too far apart to have the entire legend around (AVG is visible on yours from the 11 o'clock position, which gives us 7 letters from lower left to top centre, so likely a similar number of letters on the right).
So I believe that your coin has only VICT AVG TR P II around and the rest, COS II PP in the exergue. Your coin appears to have the top of a rounded letter visible in the exergue. Working on the premise that letters, mintmarks etc. in the exergue are usually pretty well centered, that letter (being to the left of an imaginary vertical centre line) could be the S of COS.

Though traditionally attributed to Tyre because of their Melqart reverse type,
these tetradrachms of Trajan have recently been reassigned to Antioch by Butcher and RPC,
since they share obverse dies with coins showing Antioch's normal reverse type of city goddess
seated on rocks with river god swimming at her feet.

Constantine VIII was crowned emperor when he was an infant; however, for his first 63 years of "rule" he was a junior emperor and rarely played even a minor role in state affairs.
He spent his life in search of pleasure and entertainment, including spectator sports at the Hippodrome, feasting, riding and hunting. After his brother Basil II died,
Constantine was sole emperor for nearly the last three years of his life. He carried on as he always had, enjoying life and avoiding state business as much as possible.
Ineffective and cruel, he allegedly ordered the execution or mutilation of hundreds of innocent men.

Florianus, the half brother of Tacitus, was proclaimed emperor in the Western provinces after the latter's death.
In the East Probus was declared emperor and the two marched against each other.
Before a decisive battle could take place, Florian was murdered by his own soldiers. He "wore the purple" for less than 3 months.

A successful soldier from a military family, John was chosen in about 1216 by Emperor Theodore I Laskaris as the second husband for his daughter Irene Laskarina and as heir to the throne. This arrangement excluded members of the Laskarid family from the succession, and when he became emperor in 1221, following Theodore I's death, he had to suppress opposition to his rule. John was a very successful ruler who greatly increased the size, influence, and prosperity of the Nicaean Empire. He prepared the way for his descendants to successfully restore Greek rule to Constantinople and to rule the restored Byzantine Empire.

He later refused to aid Cassius. Caesar's assassins declared him a traitor, invaded Cappadocia and executed him.

In 334 B.C. the Siege of Miletus by the forces of Alexander the Great of Macedonia liberated the city from Persian rule, soon followed by most of Anatolia.
Under Alexander, the city reached its greatest extent, occupying within its walls an area of approximately 90 hectares (220 acres). When Alexander died in 323 B.C.,
Miletus came under the control of Ptolemy, governor of Caria and his satrap of Lydia Asandrus, who had become autonomous.
In 312 B.C. Antigonus I Monophthalmus sent Docimus and Medeius to free the city and grant autonomy, restoring the democratic patrimonial regime.
